Wow!!!!Wow!!! The most beautiful woman singing one of Mozart's most difficult arias as if she is just breathing. Beautiful, fantastic. Oh dearest Anna you are absolutely fantastic. What a voice. Love you forever. ❤❤❤❤
Divina!! Senza ombra di dubbio!! Voce potente, chiara e limpida... e una pronuncia quasi perfetta. Inoltre una grande dote recitativa emotivamente coinvolgente. Splendida!! *__*
beautiful... well, none word in the entire world can express what i feel when i see anna singing... Amazing video, amazing voice and interpretation... i can´t get enough of hearing this woman singing ..although this is my favourite video and song from her:-) Bravo!!!!
Fantastic performance... She´s one of the best sopranos that we have nowadays. this video make me chills every time i see it.. I can´t imagine of seeing her singing live.. if with a video i get all emotional, i can imagine seeing her singing live...:-)
no problem...reason why I understand this is Ive attempted this piece myself and I tried shouting it the whole way....it wasnt till my voice instructor sat down and helped me add in the markings! my hats to ya man!
She may not be the "exact voice type" to sing this aria, but WHOOOEEEE! Bring the pure drama, Anna! Goosies! What I see here is a woman who loves what she's doing and is okay with leaving her heart out there on that stage. In many ways, she is exactly what opera needed in the 21st century. I LOVE IT!
Youth, beauty, invigorating vitality, marvelous energy, an intoxicating warm voice - what an irresistible combination! Enough to even bring Pavarotti back from the dead. I find it impossible to tire of watching this spectacular performance.
Credit where credit is due. Firstly, any soprano taking this aria on, deserves a medal for even learning it. Secondly, Anna did a wonderful job of this. There are so many traps in this aria and Anna did NOT fall into ANY of them. Brava darling!!!! BRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree. There are some who might say "'ending on a high note' wasn't the style in Mozart's time but came along later." That may be true, but ending on the high C would have been wonderful. There's a recording of Joan Sutherland singing this area and ends on the C -- it is fabulous!
i dont understand a word of it but the energy and feeling she puts into it is out of this world she never misses a beat she is beautiful and as such a fantastic range and quality to her voice really enjoyed it
Everything about this woman is gorgeous: voice, technique, appearance. Fabulous interpretation of this awesome aria, including the hystericasl laughter at the end. Overacting? Come on, people. She is interpreting a combined madness and death scene: why should she stand there as a pillar just because this is a recital? You can wake me up in the middle of the night for a performance like this: stars are failing for an adequate rating...
This is wonderful. Singing directly from her stomach, expanding her stomach, and pushing through her diaphragm. And opening her mouth which helps her project...oh yea..confidence :)
Anna Netrebko es un verdadero placer verte y sobre todo escuchar tu hermosa voz. Te deseo un feliz año 2012 y que los Reyes Magos de Oriente sean generosos contigo en salud y felicidad durante muchos, muchos años.
Comparing Netrebko here to her recent Anna Bolena at the Met, I would say her voice seems darker and richer and somehow bigger in the 5 or 6 years sine this and the Salzburg Mozart commemorative recordings. She can act as well as sing, and it is a delight to hear one who has her emotional depth with the proper control. She makes you love her!
Comparing Netrebko and Flemming is like comparing apples and oranges. Netrebko as Elektra here is the dramatic, 'fierce' Mozart soprano. While Flemming's forte is as the spinto, 'elegant' soprano (the Countess, Donna Anna etc.). Please keep in mind that there are many types of sopranos and they excel in different roles.
@silvr94 @silvr94 Notice when the soprano is performing, the orchestra buttons off, or is silent, their parts alternate, in the main. It was performed in the Felsenreitschule which is bulit against a quarry face. It has been used for open air concerts, but has a a retractable roof, it is also used for operas. Operas are not amplified. Musicals yes, operas no, unless being very naughty.
ad80ad: I simply adore your advice: " Acquire an education, then talk." Worth figuring in some anthology. In the same vein: "Learn the basics, then perform" "Learn your art (or trade), then produce." "Get a teacher, then show us what you've got"
@MultiTraviata actually, i believe it is an amplification microphone. the room she is performing in has different acoustics than an opera house, and second of all, the orchestra is right behind her. the loudest singer would have to scream to project their voice into the auditorium over the orchestra. don't forget, in an opera house, the orchestra is below stage-level, making it a bit quieter.
this shouldn't be another place for insults and debating over Netrebko's style. This aria is one of her best pieces (the best in my opinion), it sounds great and is sung brilliantly. try-to-en-joy
BRAVA!I love her!She is great and very energetic woman! I would like to ask if someone could send me the scores for this recitativo and aria,thank you!
LOOK AT HER !!! The way her face changes at 19 to 22 seconds point.. from greeting the crowd with a smile to the focused scowl of the character !! Gripping !! What stage presence.. what a voice !! I LOVE YOU ANNA !!
Quite good! Netrebko is one of the very rare cases when all the hype and marketing are backed by actual talent. The staccati at the end sound exactly what they are supposed to sound, that is hysterical laughter (only Gruberova could produce this effect better)
I agree she sings the way today singer are singing. Forget the old ones Flags tad, Nilson Bjoerling well the list is too long.. Viva anna ne treb ko . She could give lessons to all of the old singers.
I'm sure I've watched and listened to this performance over 100 times. It stays strong, very strong. Mighty strong. $^@#&* strong. This is one powerful singer with perfect pitch and no fear. History is being written by Anna Netrebko and we're witnesses.
@Lweoira Grazie per aver chiarito che qui non si tratta diessere bella o brava... ma fuori ruolo. E' una discreta professionista, ma non dovrebbe avvicinarsi a queste prove con il suo bagaglio tecnico, é perfino sfocata...
This is one of the earliest examples of "mad scenes" and, as such, requires extraordinary dramatic and vocal skills. Unfortunately, I think Netrebko lacks the latter.
increible belleza interpretativa, dramatizacion, belleza personal, un timbre de voz como las grandes de todos los tiempos es dificil no estallar con sus interpretaciones y mas en esta aria de ira, viva MOZART por siempre
@sweetaztecangel69 there is a difference between shouting and singing in fortissimo. she used many dynamics. She crescendo and decrescendo many times. She even went mezzopano at the end of the recit. Toward the end she was singing in mezzoforte but with legato and then staccato and fortissimo when she laughs. you only payed attention to her fortissimo moments. if you dont like her interpretation thats fine but she did use her dynamics in this video.
@bridrice Interesting comment given that this was uploaded in 2006. Do you think that Anna is paying for it now? She was not at her best in the Lucia last year but it was 4 months after she had had a baby & it was also hard to look good next to Marius & Piotr who were spectacular on that particular day (the MET HD Simulcast). She was, in my opinion, very good in Don Pasquale. I happen to like the 'darkness" in Anna's voice & I think she does this aria justice.
So agreed..who in fact is anyone to judge her? Beside's who is the one sitting at home and who is the one singing in front of thousand's of people doing and adored by many? Well put Myrtha77.
You make very good points. I was actually speaking, though of farther down the line. I will freely admit to being wrong about her, however, and, as a big fan, be glad about her vocal health,

Amazing video, amazing voice and interpretation... i can´t get enough of hearing this woman singing ..although this is my favourite video and song from her:-)

This performance of this aria is like one of those energy drinks: many people can't stand the stuff but I just LOVE it and can't get enough of it!!
no problem...reason why I understand this is Ive attempted this piece myself and I tried shouting it the whole way....it wasnt till my voice instructor sat down and helped me add in the markings! my hats to ya man!
Wonderful interpretation, love the character... The orchestra is PERFECT!!
Нет слов, чтобы выразить восхищение!!!
i use it as an energy booster. if i feel down or so, listening to this performance promptly uplifts my spirits!
Assoluto spettacolo

I find it impossible to tire of watching this spectacular performance.
The orchestration is absolutely amazing too, it works very well with her voice.
I'm like, obsessed with this video
Credit where credit is due. Firstly, any soprano taking this aria on, deserves a medal for even learning it. Secondly, Anna did a wonderful job of this. There are so many traps in this aria and Anna did NOT fall into ANY of them. Brava darling!!!! BRAVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Magnifica interpretación, de Anna Netrbko...
She´s the best right now , and add to this how beautiful she is. Damn. Her voice is really strong.
Incredible.
Boy did she sound good here!
I really enjoyed this!
She could have ended with the High C - I wish she had...but I still got chills.
I agree. There are some who might say "'ending on a high note' wasn't the style in Mozart's time but came along later." That may be true, but ending on the high C would have been wonderful. There's a recording of Joan Sutherland singing this area and ends on the C -- it is fabulous!
That was wonderful. I would love to see Netrebko in the entire role.
i dont understand a word of it but the energy and feeling she puts into it is out of this world she never misses a beat she is beautiful and as such a fantastic range and quality to her voice really enjoyed it
I think she is simply fabulous.
This ia amazing! Brava Anna!
this recording remains one of my most favourite energy boosters ever...
my second most favorite clip on you tube. this is incredible
Everything about this woman is gorgeous: voice, technique, appearance. Fabulous interpretation of this awesome aria, including the hystericasl laughter at the end. Overacting? Come on, people.

I love Ana's Elettra so much! can't wait to see her sing it live, soon to be :o)
fantastic!
Me encanta, ella y la aria que interpreta.
Грациозно неповторимо .Браво.
Selten so gut gehört!!!!!!
Supremely beautiful.
She does more than singing, she gives us a magnificent show.
No she doesn't. Its completely unsuitable
I was never a fan of Netrebko but this is very, very good.
Признаться, я не ожидала, что будет так здорово. Замечательная Электра.
And she keeps her tongue forward to let her sound come out fully. #Amazing
muy bakano el video .... esta obras es una de mis favoritas
This is wonderful. Singing directly from her stomach, expanding her stomach, and pushing through her diaphragm. And opening her mouth which helps her project...oh yea..confidence :)

una delle più brave, ma soprattutto, affascinanti donne della lirica !
Opera on this level is a blood sport, and Anna charms the bull before she kills it, every time.
Just speechless!! i dont know what to say! :o!
she is just superb!!!
I LOVE HER INTERPRETATION!

she´s brilliant and accurate, loved her this time!
Impresionante, cautivadora, adorable, una DIOSA!!!
J'en suis baba!!magnifique!!!
Splendid!
Brava ! she is just ..BRAVA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is a lyric, dramatic, soprano that can take on coloratura too. Just fabulous! But alas, I can only have her as a youtube girlfriend.
E' al top lavoce al meglio e cosi' l' interpretatazione❤
@Lweoira Netrebko sings this area better then any other performer I was able to find.
this shouldn't be another place for insults and debating over Netrebko's style. This aria is one of her best pieces (the best in my opinion), it sounds great and is sung brilliantly. try-to-en-joy
BRAVA!I love her!She is great and very energetic woman! I would like to ask if someone could send me the scores for this recitativo and aria,thank you!
thanks, I wholeheartedly agree
Beautiful! I mean, the music ... *wink

Perfect!

She has one of the most beautiful faces I've laid eyes on.
I tried to sing this in the bath the other day.
My Mrs was fuming and gave me a right bollockin!
Lot's of fire. I love it. I love how a lot of those Russian singers go for broke.
I agree she sings the way today singer are singing. Forget the old ones Flags tad, Nilson Bjoerling well the list is too long.. Viva anna ne treb ko . She could give lessons to all of the old singers.
Opera is pasion, Enjoy the show people.quit winning..Anna rules!
I'm sure I've watched and listened to this performance over 100 times. It stays strong, very strong. Mighty strong. $^@#&* strong. This is one powerful singer with perfect pitch and no fear. History is being written by Anna Netrebko and we're witnesses.
she's amazing
Sono italiana....e io non capisco una sola parola di quello che questa donna canta. Che lingua è?
@ifbgb I've seen Pendatchanska and i'm totally with you on this :D. . . .
I prefer Anna Russell to Anna Netboko
She's grown matured from her singing in her guest appearance in princess diaries 2.
I love Anna
@Lweoira Grazie per aver chiarito che qui non si tratta diessere bella o brava... ma fuori ruolo. E' una discreta professionista, ma non dovrebbe avvicinarsi a queste prove con il suo bagaglio tecnico, é perfino sfocata...
ingenious comment...and unfortunatly sooo true!thank you xgianpatrick.I agree whith you 100%.
This is one of the earliest examples of "mad scenes" and, as such, requires extraordinary dramatic and vocal skills. Unfortunately, I think Netrebko lacks the latter.
OMG! This is Actually #Good! When did she stop singing like that? Brava!
Otarú Kurzak back at 38!
i liked very much ... also ...
increible belleza interpretativa, dramatizacion, belleza personal, un timbre de voz como las grandes de todos los tiempos es dificil no estallar con sus interpretaciones y mas en esta aria de ira, viva MOZART por siempre

@verdinfishy Definitely! Pendatchanska IS Elettra :)
Good interpretation....wish she had followed this path for some 10 years before the Macbeths et al.
Anna is setting the "bar" so high it may never be reached by others! What a performance!
In a class of her own.
@Maggielicious21 love this aria!!!
Thank you!
hahaha
It is a recording microphone. That is why you can hear it here, no microphone, no recording.
An amplification microphone is different.
Belissima
wow.
@sweetaztecangel69 there is a difference between shouting and singing in fortissimo. she used many dynamics. She crescendo and decrescendo many times. She even went mezzopano at the end of the recit. Toward the end she was singing in mezzoforte but with legato and then staccato and fortissimo when she laughs. you only payed attention to her fortissimo moments. if you dont like her interpretation thats fine but she did use her dynamics in this video.

Грандиозно талантливо Моцарт был бы в восторге !БРАВО !
passion, devotion and beauty will always triumph over the mechanics of voice. She is sexual and that is music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the way she performs this. She is a good Elektra ^^
So agreed..who in fact is anyone to judge her? Beside's who is the one sitting at home and who is the one singing in front of thousand's of people doing and adored by many? Well put Myrtha77.
You make very good points. I was actually speaking, though of farther down the line. I will freely admit to being wrong about her, however, and, as a big fan, be glad about her vocal health,
